GMSK is a constant envelope modulation. Normalization is what it is.
Your samples are not normalized if you do not do something to
normalize them.
If you have samples of a GMSK signal and plot the value of I^2+Q^2 it
will be constant.
The mean of the absolute value is the "normalization" factor you are
"expecting".
